I know I'm not alone in this ... I've always loved that Hoppe's #9 smell.
Well, guess what? They make air fresheners and candles with that scent!

Mmmmmm bananas...thanks. You're right, you're not alone. I've cleaned clean shotguns just to smell it. Besides, they probably needed it anyway.

I kind of feel like I need those. I had a bottle crack and leak in my safe. Best deodorizer ever!

The old timers at our shop talk about the way Hoppe's used to smell much better than it does now. I know a guy who goes to estate sales just to pick up old half-full bottles of Hoppe's.

Hoppe's does smell great, but a dab of WD-40 behind each ear makes for a delightful cologne as well.

Seems to be a common feeling on the firearms forums. #9, #9, #9. I do believe that is what the Beatles were referring to.

SWEEEEET!!

That smell is So distinctive. I remember my first .22 rifle at 10 years old, my Dad gave me a Hoppe's cleaning kit. I think I wore the bore out more from cleaning it than shooting!! Just to get that great #9 smell....... :lol:

I gotta track these down, thanks for enabling sharing Cob!
